The Megladon fish has disruptive coloration, with its spots and stripes it is able to confuse their predators. The Megladon is usually all different colors. The coloration also gives off the warning of being poisonous or that they taste bad. The colored pigments in the fish are found in cells in the skin called chromatophores. The chromatophores allow the fish to rapidly change color by contracting and expanding the pigment in the chromatophores.
The length of the Great Barrier Reef is 1,553 miles long. An abiotic component is a non-living organism that is physical rather than biological. A biotic component has life or living organisms. Hermatypie corals are types of abiotic components that help the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. This refers to the very colorful Zooxanthellae algae.
However, Lionfish can have negative effects on the overall reef habitat as they can eliminate organisms which serve important ecological roles such as herbivorous fish which keep algae in-check on the reefs. Lionfish usually prefer living in still waters protected from any current, in quieter and darker parts of the reef; they are also known to exist in bays, estuaries and harbors. A female lionfish will release between 4,000 and 30,000 eggs during mating to be fertilized by the male’s sperm. This invasive species is growing and spreading rapidly through the Americas. It is uncertain how the lionfish arrived.
Although many people have a palate for this, it is probably not a good idea to consume. This is where toxic waste from the lobster's meal choices would become concentrated in its body. Additionally, there is a chance of coming across ‘the red stuff’. Also known as "roe", this constitutes a female lobster’s unfertilized eggs. Also called "coral" because of its bright red color and similar to caviar, it too, is considered a delicacy for some connoisseurs.
This can cause really bad and severe diarrhoea, sickness, stomach cramps and fever. In people with a serious medical condition, it can even be fatal and because some of the children in Ivy house may have weak immune systems already this can be a real risk for them. The pool may also have low levels of other bacteria called pseudomonas aeruginosa which can cause skin and ear infections. Things that can be done to protect the students and staff that are in the pool could be to ensuring that the staff and students that are going to swim shower before they get into a pool and this will remove many of these risks. By showering, swimmers remove the cream and sun lotions that cling to pool tiles, which in turn attract dirt.
They respond quickly to a change in environment because they are such tiny organisms. They are often used to check the acidity of a chemical compound that may be found in water. One of the main types of zooplankton in freshwater temperate systems is Daphnia (Ziarek et al., 2011). Daphnia, also known as water fleas, are small crustaceans that live in fresh water. They serve as an important source of food for fish and other aquatic organisms.
The fish can sense or if you will, predict the length of the severe weather. This forces the fish to feed and often feed heavily, depending on how big or small the storm is. The number one mistake people make is their bait selection. By studying the natural food sources in a body of water, one can gain an advantage over other fisherman. The fish will be less cautious in their approach if the bait is something they have been
The juvenile Rainbow Parrotfish generally spends its time in "mangrove sanctuaries", areas where the roots of a mangrove tree grow into the ocean and serve as a safe haven for small fish. Unfortunately, due to human interference and other factors, these mangrove populations are waning as well. This is opening these sanctuaries to predators and not allowing the juvenile fish that called them home to survive. The solution essentially narrows itself down to one goal, save the mangroves and, as a result, save the Rainbow Parrotfish. The question that I am asking is: "How much, in detail, does saving the mangroves help the Rainbow Parrotfish?
Quotas should be set on catches, based on scientific estimates for the size of the fish stock (Collins, 1997). Making the public more aware could be another way to help protect these species. Many people probably don’t even know what a menhaden is, or how important they are in the human food chain. These fish are prey for many bigger game fish, such as bass and bluefish. People tend to preserve things they have a better understanding
The by-catch and pollution must also be monitored. There have been positive results from this new management overall, though many salmon populations as well as other marine populations continue to be in decline. It is important that we as consumers choose fish products from sustainable fisheries and understand what this means for marine environments. If salmon continue to be fished and farmed in ways that are damaging to the environment, collapse of the entire industry may occur. This can cause unforeseen economic and ecologic problems that may be irreversible.
